<p>What are the benefits and disadvantages in rooming in KC vs Hill. I know I’m going choose the Quad for my first three choices, but I am stuck between the two for now…</p>
<p>But some specific questions in no particular order:
Is KC all that unsocial/boring? Granted it sounds less social than hill, but should that discourage me?</p>
<p>Is one necessarily better to study in?</p>
<p>How do the lounges compare. I like the outdoor KC lounges but do you tihnk is better overall?</p>
<p>What would be closer to classes? Both me and my likely roommate are in wharton. (Also, science courses would be important to my roommate as a likely pre-med)</p>
<p>How strong is the interaction with people from other houses and KC and Hill?</p>
<p>Does Hill (or KC) get unusually/problematically hot?</p>
<p>And anything else about the dorms that I might not readily notice or think to ask.</p>
<p>Hill is more social.
KC has better rooms & facilities.
(but i think if you already have your roommate, you’ll probably get in the quad, so i wouldn’t worry about it too much)</p>
<p>Probably cuz if any of the two ppl get picked in the lottery for housing the other person joins automatically, so the chance of getting in is doubled.</p>
<p>hill is closer to campus in general, even though huntsman hall (the wharton building) is towards the other end of campus. for science courses, your roommate would be close to chem/physics/bioengineering classes and far from bio.</p>
<p>in the buildings without air conditioning, you can usually deal with it by opening a window and having a few good fans set up. i live in the quad and our ac is still shut off now from the winter, but opening the window and running a little fan keeps it nice.</p>
